I was raised by a single mom making $5.25 an hour. Now I have a great family and work as a surgeon, helping people. Thank you, America, for giving me this opportunity. Even if it seems impossible, in this country everyone has a chance.

State Sen. Jean Schodorf’s election loss to the inexperienced Michael O’Donnell has assured that this lifelong Republican will definitely vote Democratic in the general election.

Moderate Republicans and Democrats: Write in Jean Schodorf for the Kansas Senate in the general election.

So O’Donnell says he was told to stay away from Rep. Mike Pompeo’s celebration party? O’Donnell is the face of conservatism and represents the direction in which the Kansas Republican Party is heading. Pompeo’s attitude will cost him votes if he isn’t careful.

If we have to show photo ID to vote, then those who want free school supplies or free backpacks should have to show ID as well. How many illegal aliens got free supplies over Americans in need?

I know we are in a drought. I know the situation is dire. But could we please have one night when we turn on the TV news and not see another story about it?
